Rangers have a number of quality centre-backs now at their disposal.
Rangers defender Joe Worrall made his club debut in the Europa League draw against Villarreal, but he still has some way to go if he wants to break into the starting XI on a regular basis.
The 6ft 2 ace moved to Ibrox on loan from Nottingham Forest and supporters got their first glimpse of him on Thursday.
The 21-year-old centre-back was part of a team that picked up an impressive result in Spain, but he showed several moments of vulnerability and is not quite yet the finished article.
He is going to have his work cut out to be a permanent starter, as the competition in the centre of defence is fierce.
Connor Goldson looks like a mainstay at centre-back and he’s been a man mountain since he joined from Brighton.
Worrall would surely love to be his permanent partner, but will need to try edge his way past teammate Nikola Katic and that will be no easy task.
Katic, 21, has been majorly impressive for Steven Gerrard’s team this campaign and the understanding he’s built up with Goldson surely gives him the edge as it stands.
The Croatian is in pole position to be in Gerrard’s best XI and it’s up to Worrall to try change that as he settles at Ibrox, while veteran defender Gareth McAuley remains an option too.
